Noosa-Alotau waste management project

Local Government Good Practice Scheme (CLFG) 

The Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF) pacific project office in Suva, Fiji, has requested the assistance of LGMA to disseminate information on opportunities for Australian councils to become involved in international local government development projects. As part of its regional local government capacity building project in the Pacific, CLGF is scaling up one of its key technical support mechanisms, the Commonwealth Local Government Good Practice Scheme, initially in Papua New Guinea and later on to Fiji, Kiribati and Vanuatu. The cities that form part of the Papua New Guinea program are Goroka, Madang, and Kokopo.

Councils in Australia that are interested in the mutual benefits that come from participation in international cooperation and partnership projects are encouraged to consider this opportunity. Apart from providing technical support to a local authority in a developing country, such projects have the potential for enhancing professional local government development from a global perspective.
